This post is all about losing weight. Again, we are taking this very slowly. Why? Because we're changing habits and doing it all at once is not only overwhelming, when we fail we just go back to our old bad habits.
Since you've completed Step Two, you should be eating at regular intervals. Hopefully, your binges have decreased some. If they have, then congratulations! If not, don't worry. You will get there, I promise!
Exercise
By now you should be exercising every day for 10 minutes. You probably haven't lost weight at this point and that is okay. We're not too concerned with actual weight loss at this point. We'll get there. Remember we are building good habits!
Continue to exercise for 10 minutes a day.
Eat Eggs for Breakfast
Eat two eggs (whole) or four egg whites for breakfast. Add in soy milk and veggies and make an omelet.
Why? Studies have shown that eating eggs in the morning makes you feel full for longer. The added soy milk will give you more protein as well and the veggies like spinach, zucchini, or broccoli will give you added proteins, vitamins and minerals.
Take a Multi-Vitamin in the Morning
If you're like me and you don't eat enough vegetables, you need to supplement your diet with vitamins.
Eat More Whole Grains
What's a whole grain? Whole grains are oatmeal, brown rice, corn, quinoa, rye, spelt, farro, bulgur, wheat berries, and durum (whole wheat). This is not a comprehensive list. Just a list of what's familiar to most people.
Here's a sample morning menu:
Breakfast: 4 egg white spinach omelet with mozzerrella cheese, a slice of whole-wheat toast, and a small orange.
Snack: 1 cup cooked oatmeal, with flax seed, soy milk, frozen raspberries, and honey.
So you've had two servings of a lean protein, 1 serving of a vegetable, 2 serving of a fruit, 2 servings of a whole grain and 2 servings of dairy

Eating disorders are traditionally seen as a problem for women, not men. However, the number of men and boys being diagnosed with the disorder is on the increase. It is estimated that boys make up between 10-20% of all sufferers in the U.K. A recent study published in the “International Journal of Eating Disorders”* suggests that nearly as many men may be suffering from binge eating disorders as women, but are less likely to seek help. This could mean the actual percentage of men suffering is a lot higher, but they do not seek help due to the stigma of having a mental health issue, or being seen as “weak” or “unmanly”.
